When it first starts, it asks if the user wants to install it. When the user clicks confirm, it tries to use xdg-desktop-menu, xdg-mime, and xdg-icon-resource. Is this a safe behavior with guix, or should I try to patch it out? If it is safe, should I bother trying to install a desktop icon with guix if the program will do that itself? -- -Jesse
